Video meme with a flyer image of the full USA in shades of blue, with this image focusing on a workshop in the Northeast in Maine. The back laye of the image is a green color fading up into white with the full USA across it and the northeast in a different color variation to allow for focus on that region. The meme is of the main character from the movie “High School Musial” green screened to be in front of the flyer with his iconic song line: "I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am." For the meme purposes, at the top of the video is: "Every teacher after adopting modeling pedagogy into their teaching practices." with a subhead: "Inner dialogue" meant to match up with the song's emphatic feeling.
